yes ,our ancester used to make wire wrapped jewelry to make up or use them as currency,as we all know that many of them were normal stones ,shells ,animal bones and ivories.Then people started to use pearls and agate .have been to jinsha ruins (or jinsha site museum),I was shocked by some wire wrapped jewelry.they are so amazing .you can not imagine how ancient shu(ancient sichuan province) people made these brilliant jewelries.
